Unmatched power output tubes. Bad idea ?


Even if each tube's bias can be adjusted independently?

Specifically, I have VAC Avatar SE integrated amp and I am thinking of a quad of unmatched used vintage EL34 Mullards.

The VAC is a push-pull amp and will likely work best with matched tubes. That being said, you can try the Mullards especially if they look similar and are from a single source, and bias successfully.
