Default Impedance probs

Hi,

I've got a relatively old stereo system that has surroundsound outputs, but
it has them labelled as 16 ohm. I'm guessing I'll be doing damage
(over-currenting the amps) if I use 8 ohmers, so can I use a pair of 8 ohms
in parallel or will that cause problems too? I've been trying to find 16 ohm
speakers but they are not cheap and very hard to come by.
Can anyone suggest anything? Sticking an 8ohm resistor in line with it one 8
ohmer??

James
