How to raise the total resistance of a speaker

I see some speaker manufacturers , such as Coincident , producing 10 ohm speakers . And some OTL amp manufacturers , such as Atma-Spere , suggest speakers with higher resistance ratings than 8 ohms .It seems that most of the higher resistance speakers on the market are quite expensive as compared to the more plentiful ones of 8 ohms .
Is it possible to take a manufactured box speaker rated at 8 ohms and raise it to 10 , 12 , 14 or 16 ohms ? If so what is involved ? Could this be done at the time of the original speaker build , by the manufacturer , without too much trouble or expense ?

Thank you
