I'm not being sarcastic -- but how do you know that paralleling the outputs
will produce a significant increase in power? Ignoring the very pertinent
question of how to do this /correctly/, the most you could get is a 3dB
increase, which is plainly audible, but hardly a large increase.

A small increase is better than nothing.

No, it isn't. Not when it requires a lot of work, and will be only slightly
audible.

Fitting resistors is hardly a lot of work. I just need someone who knows their
stuff, to answer my original question.

So, William, what is the correct answer here (value of resistors)? I'm
curious now, too.
