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.

/Great to know, Didn't expect them to come with the full package of accessories. I had seen other RC-70's towers in the past where the spikes and port plugs were not included.
Good find

It's not a rare occurrence.
Someone that received this setup from Adorama this year posted they had a 2025 or 2026 mfr date. It appears the parent company has bought them back and are in current production.
Same size, weight and specs as models from mid 2000's and early 2010's.
Great deal if you can get them shipped for this price with no damage.
I also had to request multiple labels and specify more than once that the bookshelf speakers and RC-70 were separate units. I snapped photos and chat logs through the whole process as I had zero expectation it was being handled correctly.
My replacement bookshelf units at least look to be in much better shape. The units from my original order had the veneer cut/applied so poorly that the speakers did not even have straight corners. Every edge was wobbly with the MDF cab below showing through.

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