Matching tubes


I have a pair of Canary M350 Mono blocks. and a Cary Slp98P preamp. The tubes in the preamp are matched. I had one tube (A  300B) go bad in the power amp. Is it as important to have matching tubes in the Amps? Each 300B is biased manually. Thanks in advance.

Thanks to all. I'm using electro harmonics gold 300b. 4 in each amp along with 2 6sn7's. I'll replace 1 300b for now get a matched quad of 6sn7's and an octet of matched 300b's for back up. I just wasn't sure if the preamp or amp was the most important to use matched tubes in.
