Then surely you should get 5W resistors for the ones currently listed as 2W?
It’s the higher rated resistors that are going to get the warmest, and from watching amp repair videos, it’s often theses ones that end up underrated and on the edge to cut costs and often overheat.
The logic really follows that all resistors should be at least one rating step higher than currently specified.
