Comparing preamps on different speakers? The difference between the
speakers (even if identical) will be much more than the difference
between the preamps.

Good equipment will sound the same! An expectation of differences
between mic preamps has been raised by marketing campaigns for mic
preamps. Since people rarely do blind comparisons, most don't realize
how small the differences are.
