Potentiometer - Volume Pot

I am building a stereo amplifier. Instead of using a balance pot, I am using a dual concentric audio taper potentiometer having independent volume control for each channel.

Only pot I could find is dual 250K, but circuit calls for 100K. Is it ok to shunt the pots with a 180K carbon comp resistor for approximately 100K? I understand carbon film resistors can distract from good sonics, so I propose using carbon comp resistors.
