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.
Which contradicts your premise since the drivers are different and the
resistors would have to be matched to THAT driver IF you think it's THAT
critical.
The only way would be to properly test it, which is obviously beyond the OP.
