I use my 770 with my Ref HT. I know its not the Rockets but it's the same company. I had my 770 before the Refs got here but recently I upgraded my front Ref 1's with Ref 2's and moved the old Ref 1's to another room. I will say that through a standard HT Pioneer receiver (814 I believe) they sound dead and lifeless in comparison to my 950/770 (now 990). If I had never heard them through the 770 I probably would still like the sound, but its not the same. I guess if I had to sum it up in one thought it would be that the Ref's with the 770 are airy and dynamic but without they are still crystal clear, but a little flat.
