User opinions on preamps

I have a few more gigs lined up and should be able to expand my mic pre selection in the near future.

Currently I have 2 Portico 5012’s, a Aphex 107 (slightly modified) and a heavily modified ART tube PAC.

I will be able to test out my top 3 choices, but in order to narrow the field

I would appreciate the input of people actually using the gear.

Getting the Most Out of An Amp In A Bad Recording Space

My room is about 11x12 and untreated. I'm looking for rules of thumb or something of the sort. Like amp placement, should it face a corner or wall or something. Should I have the amp shoot into the closet? Right now I have it facing the center of the room and I feel that this is not the way to go about things. My tracks don't sound horrible, but they don't sound how I want them to either.
