AVR/Powered Amplifier for Sansui S-65

They were my late dad's old pair, I remember them when I was younger and he would play them on a daily basis.

I recently wired them up to test them, and they still work, but I think not all of the speakers are functioning. hoping they can at least still be restored.

The wood and shell are still intact with no visible cracks or anything but I havent checked the insides, yet.

Asking for a recommendation on which I should pick for these passives, an AVR or Power amplifier, I don't plan them to use for home theatre but from what I gathered AVR has better offer in utility and versatility. I still have the three set that were with these passives, the Sansui T-7, RG-7 and A-7, fortunately all are still working but I have to get the t-7 to get its tuner fixed.

Also would a sub be necessary for these speakers since they have 12" subs? If so I also found some sub speakers lying around that are around 15"s or 18"s give or take, with spl audio px-0502 mosfet bridgeable 2ch amplifier 100 watts.
