Power Amp

My power amp keeps burning up the power tubes.  I get maybe 4 months out of them  . I have use three different type of tubes that are recommended for the amp. Can anyone help, why this is happening, are all of the power tubes bad?

It has auto bias, Do not want to name the brand yet, amp is being repaired. Keep getting told it is the tubes, looking for other opinions.

I had solid state amps and sold them off. Wanted to get a tube amp a chance ,keeps blowing the power tubes . It does not sound like a tube problem but a amp problem. Thanks for all the responses.
