What receiver should I look for for my older Series 2 monitor surround?

I bought a house with an awesome, pre-wired, Polk surround system. There is right, center, left, and 2 mounted surrounds. Previous owner has all the wires separated beautifully and I would like to tap into this. I just want to be sure whatever Amp I buy will be compatible with these speakers 🔊. Thanks! My hope is to buy something second hand but good enough.

Please twist the ends of that stranded wire or you know what will happen.

Better yet, terminate the wires with banana plugs. Do NOT play those speakers without addressing that wire disaster.
You want an AVR not an amplifier since it is a surround speaker system. Your budget will determine which AVR.Political Correctness'.........defined
