I agree with the suggestion for FuzzMeasure, but that will not let you separate the speaker from the room. The only ways to do this correctly, for cheap, are 1) hoist each speaker up a tall flagpole and measure with a very tall microphone stand, or 2) find an auditorium and hoist the speakers up so they're at least 30 to 50 feet from any surface. Then you can gate the measurement to reject the reflections that arrive much later. The farther away the nearest room boundary, the lower in frequency your tests will be valid to.
