How to wire a powerful amp with two speakers to avoid damage

I have read that it is possible to use a pair of speakers as a "resistance" to prevent damage from overdriving speakers that are to be low powered. How can this be done?
I have a pair of BC2 Class A hybrid mono amps at 75 watts per channel and would like to experiment connecting them to very efficient speakers such as the Soliloquy 2A3s, but I am afraid that it might be an overkill....2A3s rated at 25 watts max.

Sean, would the amp be working really hard at NOT feeding the current? Would it then be running really hot? If so, you may want to pack ice around the amp (kidding) and don't allow small kids or animals near it(not kidding).
Or just the opposite and barely be breaking a sweat?
