"my gut reaction is that paralleling a high-wattage non-inductive 8ohm resistor at the outputs to get a 4ohm load would just be wasting power as heat"Your gut reaction would be correct. You would indeed optimize the impedence BUT you would be wasting power.
How about a transformer specifically designed to multiply a speakers impedence....
