So the question is, all you guys that are using API, Grace, Millenia mic-pre's how are you getting a stereo image without pan pots? This will show my ignorance and stupidity, but I don't get it. Is the DAW creating that image from the properly placed microphones and spacing between the microphones? I just don't understand. My assumption is that you run your mic-pre's line level into a mixer and then mix, bypassing the mixers pre's.
Most are mixing in the box (pans and levels all available here) or returning to a console for the mix.

But some people have talked about running a (2) channel mic-pre directly into DAW.
Left and Right simple 2 mic recording.
