Best monitoring calibration solution

I have just relocated my studio and would like to get a good picture of how good the monitoring environment is, including the whole configuration with speakers, speaker positions and acoustics. What's the most professional solution for a task like this?

I use ETF too but it's Windows only. There's a program called FuzzMeasure for Macs, but I've never used it or even seen it. There's also the Room EQ Wizard, which is free, but I haven't used that either. Google will get you links for both programs.

Understand that raw frequency response - measured to 1/12 octave or finer - is only half the story. The other half is time-based problems like modal ringing, early reflections, and excess ambience.

How big is your mix room, and what sort of bass traps and other treatment do you have now? It's not strictly necessary to measure a room to make big improvements. But I understand that you may just want verification too.
