Why and when to use mini DSP?

Yea, I know, but I'm talking for the HT setup.

Audyssey Bypass L/R will also bypass the most important and critical front L/R even in 7.1 surround sound HT.

Only the surround speakers, center, and subs get Audyssey.

The subs benefit for sure with Audyssey EQ.

The surround speakers are insignificant ambience sound anyway.

And the Center is just for vocal/dialogue; Audyssey doesn't seem to do much of anything with the dialogue/vocal.

True, but I'd rather have the flat setting on since it provides a flatter overall response.

They definitely do.

Agree to disagree

I feel like I forgot to save the graphs, but Audyssey didn't do much of anything to my front 3 speakers through the midrange and up to the highs. Plus any adjustments it made to the surround speakers yielded an insignificant change in the overall measured response when everything was averaged together and compared to the before (for my room and my speakers yadda yadda yadda).

Yeah, I couldn't tell much of a difference at all between Bypass L/R vs. Flat. I could keep it on Flat and wouldn't even notice a difference. But because I couldn't tell the difference anyway, I figured why even keep Audyssey for the fronts?

I bet the next step would be for manufacturers to implement "Audyssey Bypass" in which all channels (L/R/C/SL/SR) are bypassed except the Subwoofers. So we would have 5 options - Audyssey Reference, Audyssey Flat, Audyssey Bypass L/R, Audyssey Bypass, OFF.

That might FORCE me to buy a new processor.

Either an audyssey bypass or a bypass where its selectable. You can pick either individual speakers or pairs to leave it on\off.

You need a new processor I need a bigger room. So many first world problems to solve, so little time
