Can I tweak L-R balance by differntial biasing?


My new (to me) Almarro integrated does not have a balance control but my room is slightly asymmetrical. I'm playing a little w speaker toe-in to try to correct this, but I just had another idea. Bias spec is 0.20 volts, with 0.18 volts suggested as a minimum which will reduce output slightly but provide more tube life. It seems to me that if I bias the output tube slightly lower on the "louder" side, it might shift the balance slightly toward the side that is biased higher. Does that make any sense???

Or you could use an outboard digital EQ ie an Ultracurve and use it as a balance control. I have hearing loss in my left ear, and though I still cannot achieve an absolutely perfect center image like before, it is close with this set up. I have found that the Ultracurve is 100% transparent and quiet in my system.
Thanks for the comments Swampwalker. FWIW, adjusting the bias not only does not affect gain, it doesn't affect the output power of the amp either.
Atmasphere- well, then it's pretty scary that the manufacturer or distributor put a comment in the biasing instructions that said it would. I guess you can't always believe everything you read!!! Another illusion shattered.
I would love to hear Atmasphere's technical and practical explanation on how bias affects an amp sonically, ie: when both channels are the same vs. not. Forgive me for taking you to task Ralph, but I gotta take the chance when I see it. How else am I going to learn:)
