Those look like Polk RT800. There was a later RT800i, but those had bluish woofers and were pretty much the same thing.
Amplifier rating for compatibility was 25-250 watts per speaker at 8 ohms and 90dB sensitivity. In real world use, I'd go with something 80 watts or so and up.

The minimum rating is a bit more important, but the maximum rating is pretty worthless. You can safely drive the 250 watt maximum rated speakers with a 500 wpc amp as long you're not completely stupid with the volume knob. In fact, you're more likely to damage the speakers with a 25 wpc amp than a 500 wpc amp.Political Correctness'.........defined
