How on earth are you meant to configure them without a Meridian remote if they're not supplied with one?
Meridian now only supply as standard a MSR+ with their controllers, this prevents over supply for folk purchasing complete systems (I recall being awash with 4 MSR's with my 500, 5000 HT system).
If you had only purchased a pair of 7K2's, your dealer would have made sure you had a remote shipped as well.
It seems the issue here is not what is supplied, but perhaps the stagger deliver.
When is the rest of your kit due?
Did you order any SpeakerLink cables for you new system? (They are not include as standard either).

PS I'm assuming this is all coming as one order from a dealer.
