I suggest playing pink noise through the speakers and lean around as you would regularly. Pink noise is a particularly unforgiving signal source; you will hear a change in timbre if response is changing at those positions. I suggest doing this little test with one speaker only, as timbre will change if your position in relation to the two speakers changes - i.e., moving slightly closer to one or the other.

Something else you could do, possibly in conjunction with the pink noise test (especially if it does show timbre change) would be to take a few REW readings at the various places where your head will be during mixing and mastering, to see at what frequencies response changes are taking place. Again, I suggest using a single speaker for this to avoid comb filtering from being off-centered between the speakers,
or simply use the RTA feature of REW while moving around with the microphone.
