Getting the right preamp

Hello,

This will be a super general question so please bare with me!

Could someone suggest a very general assortment of tests that could be performed on preamps in order to narrow down which two best suited my needs?

I would like to hear how others test pre's before purchasing 2 new ones in the near future.

Best regards,

using a bose wave radio as monitor

This probably sounds weird, but I have been using a bose wave radio as a monitor on projects I record for my band. It worked pretty good, but I wonder if it is not a good idea as stuff tends to sound fuller through these speakers then most other speakers. So I'll mix a song down to CD, put it in the CD player in my truck and then be like "were did the fullness go?"

Jumping Horses

I have came across enuf money to make a platform change. I am a longtime Sonar user. I am thinking of going Pro Tools. How much of my exixting setuo will I be able to keep. Tascam US-428m DXI'x and VST's. What system is recomended entry level but expandable. I just had a death in my family and don't feel like diggin thru tons of lititure and spec's. So any suggestions would be helpfull. TIA.
