Because if you put a resistance in there large enough to causes a 
significant change in efficiency it would create a low pass filter with the 
capacitance of the cable.  Also the resistor would heat up, so if you 
listened to loud music, after a while it would start to get quieter, and 
your speakers would start to get warmer...  Doesn't seem like a good idea if 
you are striving for optimum sound quality...
