I'm not sure I understand your question, but I can comment.

You are using a DCX bass management system presumably because you don't like the bass management provided by the Yamaha receiver? The Yamaha is likely a fixed crossover at 90Hz, so it's not hard to imagine why you don't like it.
I can choose the fixed crossover between 40Hz and 200Hz, but I do not use in my configuration

I don't personally see the need for the DEQ with any speaker other than the subwoofer. Equalization on mains, surrounds etc doesn't gain you much. Any equalization for those speakers should be carried out with room treatment. The best the DEQ can do there is add noise. If you're looking for the best possible mains direct pure signal, then don't insert a device like the DEQ into the chain. Its best service would be for the sub alone to remove room resonance.
Some tests show an improvement on the others speakers, especially on the mains. Room treatment is not possible, because WAF , it's not a dedicated room

Why not set all your speakers to small except the mains (large) and set the LFE/SUB to Main. That way all bass would be redirected to the main signal, which you then bass manage with the DCX. I would only use the DEQ on the sub...
Is it the good choice, in this configuration ? SMALL better than LARGE ?

Thank You for your response
