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.

The original pair of speakers would be matched to around 0.5dB. Why not do
it right, or get somebody competent to do it ?

Given the natural acoustic variations in the room, this level of matching
while laudible, probably has very little practical value.

Perhaps, but you do realise that does not require the resistors to be
matched to 1% in any case?
Not to mention the resistors may be selected to provide the matching rather
than the drivers, thus making your idea pointless.

As I have said all along!
