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.

Adorama is taking the piss when it comes to just packaging the damn things up correctly.

I've purchased 3 sets of RC-10's over the years and the styrofoam is pretty sturdy and the box is not flimsy/ Are their shippers purposely tossing those boxes around?
If they've sent your 4 boxes you ought to have two good speaker from those 4 pairs.

Despite being told by their CS rep, Levie D. , that they were "unable to honor the request for double-boxing, and the speakers will ship in their manufacturer's packaging." - they arrived double box. Pretty impressively double boxed to be honest with the bagged foam inserts. Both speakers appear to be pristine even if the foam inside the boxes was broken to pieces again. The bare "manufacturer's packaging" is in no way shape or form enough to ship these things, they just weigh too damn much. Drinks on me to whoever in their warehouse who did the right thing!!
Side note: does anyone know how to properly affix the speaker grills? They are magnetic with alignment pins but I can only get them to attach if I slightly bend the grills in a U shape after attaching the top pins first and then forcing the bottom pins into the grill slots. They still don't attach fully and there is a slight bend to them, but everything else I've tried doesn't work. This is on both speakers with both grills.
