Bon, bah désolé à ceux que ça va saouler, mais on va parler un peu technique du coup, histoire de rétablir ce qui doit l'être...
D'abord, je vous renvoie à l'excellente FAQ rédigée par manulonch :

Maintenant, let's go :
Good evening, Doug. I'm afraid you made a common mistake : the "fixed bias" term does not refer to the fact that the bias can't or shouldn't be adjusted. In fact, it means that the tube is biased by means of a given ("fixed") negative DC voltage...
The value of this negative voltage will affect the amount of current drawn by the tube (more negative = less current, less negative = more current).
A poweramp is designed in order to have the tubes draw a certain amount of current, let's say 30mA per tube (a realistic value for a push-pull class AB EL84 amplifier).
If the tubes were really sticking to the datasheets values, it would be great and no bias adustement would be needed, but even within the production of a single manufacturer, several tubes (of the same type, of course) will draw different amounts of current : for a given negative voltage (as well as given plate and screen-grid voltages), you may have an EL84 drawing 28mA, and another one from the same manufacturer drawing 35mA...
The purpose of bias adjustment is to find the optimal bias point, ie. set the correct negative voltage so that the tube draws exactly the amount of current it is supposed to, depending on the plate voltage, the tube's maximum power dissipation, and the output transformer primary impedance. If the tube is biased too hot, it will wear way too fast, and if it's biased too cold, the sound won't be as good as it should be...
Conclusion : if you happen to get a pair of EL84s which draws exactly the same amount of current than the previous one under the same conditions (lucky guy !), you'll be fine and won't need to adjust the bias.
However, this is highly unlikely, and most of the time the bias will have to be checked and adjusted (by a qualified tech, of course)
For further information on biasing, you can refer to many articles on the Internet or in specialized literature, the following one being extremely well written in my opinion :
