Well, that is the problem, I can only get the 1 watt 10K shinkoh, as well. I use them in the leak, but I did get some 9.1K 2W shinkoh for my main amps, and I use them in a 10K spot, they worked perfectly. Get them instead, if its OK via your circuit. You can also get 2 /20K 1 watt shinkoh and run them parallel to get 10K, but they may not sound better that 1 /10K shinkoh. There are thin and thicker lead-out wires available on these 1 watt shinkoh's. Try to get the thicker ones. But they seem to have have run out, and most come with the thin leads. The 2 watt all have these thicker leads.
