Just moved in - how to tell quality of in-ceiling speakers?

     Just moved into a new house, and in the living room there are four in-ceiling speakers (they’re wired as stereo with two on each channel). Behind where the TV is supposed to go eight wires come out of the wall, four red and four black. Right now I don’t have any way to connect to speaker wire, I assume I would need an amp? My main question is that I don’t have any idea what brand or model of speakers these are, so I don’t want to spend a disproportionate amount on an amp. How would you recommend that I test the sound of these speakers before committing to any purchases?

Thanks!

Would be something if they were BG or something like that. No way to remove a grill or something to look?

BG use to have surface mounts with 6-8-10" WCF low/mids and a Neo 3 for the mids/highs. I heard a shop with 8 8" units in the walls. 2 units per, one was upside down. So 4, BM T T  MB, in the short wall with 2x6 studs..

GREAT shop sound for darn sure.. He gave me 4 brand new 8" and 4 10" units.. for a plinth. Still in the BG boxes. He was going to add them ALL to his shop.. 8 was more than enough.. I think, lucky me? We'll see.
