Default Measuring audio amp output power
In article ,
says...

An electric fire/heater element works well.

I guess a 1kW unit for 110V would need ca 10A and hence be ca 10 ohm;
not far off. But a 230V element would have higher resistance and several
in parallel might be needed for each channel for a 8 ohm load...
