Adding resistance to 4 ohm C.V. DX-7's

 

I have a Sony STR-d711 rated for 8 ohm speakers. I am driving a pair of cerwin vega dx-7's which are rated 4 ohm. At about 1/3 power, the sony "protector circuit" cuts out the power. I'm told this is because the speaker's are drawing too much power. I would like to add a 4 ohm resistor to the + lead going to each speaker in an effort to resolve the ohm incapatibility. Any thoughts???

Why not? Should be fine. You will get lower volumes for the same gain setting.
It does not have to be the + lead.
Cam Romeril has a similar question, though no cut-out problem:
