Through an estate sale I recently came into two monoblock 9W KT88
Qucksilver Amps and two Mcintosh XR 1051 speakers. I have connected
them together but the amplifier is severely underpowered for the
speakers. I need some advice. Should I get smaller bookshelf speakers
to match the amp w a sub or just EQ the speakers for some heaver
low-end response? Any thoughts ideas are welcome.

if you are committed to the amps then you should get more efficient
speakers. That does not mean they have to be or should be bookshelf
speakers. Some of the most efficient speakers out there are large and
full range. EQ is the last thing you want to do. A powered sub is a
reasonable option but matching can be tricky.
