share 2 CH speakers with HT set up or use separate speakers for front end of a 7.2 HT?


My TV/Listening room currently has 2 separate front ends.
One for music and one for HT/TV.
The 2 channel set up is a Lyngdorf TDAI 2170 into Dali Helicon 800s towers.
The HT set up is Denon X3500 into an AV1213 front end utilizing book shelf speakers for L&R

The room is only 13’ wide and the speakers are kind of close to each other.
I’m wondering if I should ditch the cheaper AV123 book shelf speakers from the HT set up and use some kind of switcher, as long as it doesn’t degrade the signal I get out of my Lyngdorf / Dali 2 CH set up.

I was switching speaker cables for a while (with just one set of speakers for the front end) and I found myself not using my 2 channel set up much because the cable swap was a pain.

I'm sure the Lyngdorf has a HT bypass but my brain is having a hard time figuring out what that actually is, even after reading a few blogs on it,  or if I should be using it. 

What do you folks think?

HT bypass means that the Lyngdorf gives up the the volume control.

No matter what level you were listening to music, when you use HT Bypass the volume gets taken over by your HT processor.
