Will improperly biased amp and preamp affect sound

Can anybody tell me what the effect on the sound is if the amp or preamp isn't properly biased?

If the bias is too high, not only can you fry the tubes, you can also get a lot of distortion. If the bias is completely off, you may cause more damage than you like if the tube blows suddenly. If the bias is too low, you will overwork the amp and will lack output.
