Just buy the damned 10 watt resistors and be done

If it's anything like my KEF Reference speakers (and it should be) , it is
not JUST a 10W resistor.
It is likely to be of a specifically selected value from within the normal
tolerance band, to enable the speaker to comply to it's specifications. KEF
tested and matched up Rs Cs and drivers into bins to make sets that gave
the correct crossover frequencies and attenuations.

I'd be inclined to test the actual value of it's buddy in the adjacent
speaker, and match the resistance to within 1% or so.

We are talking about B&W Nautilus range speaker IIRC, so worth the effort.
