Mismatched power tubes sound?


We are routinely told that power tube matching is critical even with amps that allow for individual biasing. I am unsure what the sound of mismatched tubes is, any suggestions?

Is the the core magnetization a dynamic situation only, or is this a static condition resulting in permanent degradation? (I would suspect it's hopefully only a temporary condition)? And if it is a permanemt problem, then can you degauss the core via playing a "burn-in record" through the system? This phenomenon never occurred to me before, but certainly it is a valid concern!
