A Real Time Analyzer (RTA) with pink noise generator, an EQ (31-band 
graphic EQ, parametric EQ, or even use a software EQ effect on your 
master out channel), and a measurement microphone (Behringer has one for 
cheap) should get you one your way to flattening out the sound from your 
monitors in your studio.

Allen & Heath has a RTA program at 
http://www.allen-heath.com/US/ViewProductdownloads.asp?search=Real%20Time%20Analyser.  
Many others are out there too.

The DBX Driverack series has the RTA, noise generator, EQ, and other 
features built into their rackmount units.
