Hook up and place everything where it needs to be. You must have a spare speaker with a positive/negative terminal. If not manually set up the speakers.
You don't need to wait to have every speaker in order to setup what you got.
That's $1050 so $799 is definitely a steal.
This is still my main setup for the past 14 years. Highly recommend.
Community Reviews
This Energy RC bundle is a strong home theater and music package built around neutral, smooth sounding towers, a matching center, and bookshelf speakers that many find detailed without harshness. The set is described as heavy, solid, and still competitive years after release, with the RC 70s and RC LCR doing especially well for dialogue and full system synergy. A subwoofer is still needed for true full range output, and the main caution is Adorama shipping and support, where damaged boxes, replacement mixups, and long delays have been reported. A good fit if you want classic Energy sound and can get an intact shipment.
The Energy RC-70 and RC-LCR package can deliver a smooth, solid sound with a premium crossover for many listeners.
A subwoofer is required for solid full-range performance with these speakers.
The RC-70 setup can work well with an Onkyo 7100 receiver for home theater and music.
The RC-70 system can be used as mains with an RSL subwoofer for home theater and music.
Adorama shipping and customer service can cause severe damage and fulfillment delays that prevent setup before return windows close.
Adorama packaging and QC can lead to repeated replacement units arriving damaged or with veneer and cabinet issues.
The RC-70 bundle may require careful verification because deal details and replacements have reportedly been mixed up with RC-10 bookshelf speakers.
Some listeners find the Energy RC tuning too bright or sibilant even after EQ adjustments.

I am extremely, extremely frustrated with Adorama, and primarily with their CS. I'll try not to explain all of it because it's so damn long. Here are the highlights so far:
-3 out of 4 boxes severely damaged including the RC-70 towers and the RC-LCR. Go to RMA and they only issue me one shipping label (this is very important) have to deal with 2 CS reps before they send me enough labels. Notice that the weights on the labels don't match. Their CS is literally so bad I can't bring myself to call them up again to try and figure out what the mix up is because chances are they will just screw it up even worse, so I decide to play it safe by putting the RMA and Order numbers directly on all the boxes so ensure no mixups. Certainly they can't be THAT incompetent, RIGHT?!
-Their email CS rep tells me they have all three speakers back in their warehouse. A month goes by and I only receive the center speaker replacement. Spend this entire time emailing their worthless CS reps to inquire as to the hold up. Make it very clear to them that I'm still missing the RC-70 towers. Only excuse given was "investigation" from their warehouse and returns. Decide enough is enough and threaten to file a chargeback if I don't have a tracking number for the missing RC-70 speakers within a week.
-Get another email telling me that the replacements should be shipped soon. I get an email with an invoice but for the RC-10 bookshelf speakers.
-Call up their CS dept (i loath doing this because their phone reps are somehow worse than their email) who tells me that apparently I was shipped two sets of RC-10 bookshelfs by mistake.
-Turns out because of the mess of the original return labels, despite me putting the RMA and order number on all the boxes, their system glitched out because it was based on the return labels. The weights were wrong because they were for the wrong damn speakers.
-NOT ONCE IN OVER A MONTH WAS I NOTIFIED THAT THIS WAS THE REASON.
I was also never apologized to for their original mistake. Their communication is beyond abysmal. I have no means that I'm aware of to escalate this issue to someone within the company itself despite repeated requests to their CS rep the last time I called to do so. I don't even know if I can even get my money back at this point via a chargeback even if I return the speakers I have.
AVOID ADORAMA AT ALL COSTS!!
