Yep, the space is very important. It has a big effect if you doing anything over normal speaking level.

All three pre's mentioned are excellent and are as good or better than most studio's. I've used the Hardy and the M1 and both are great. The Millennia has a great reputation although I haven't used it.

As mentioned go light with compressors. You can do more damage than good. In fact you might want to skip the compressor at the start. Then add in any of the above units in small amounts and you're set.

Don't overthink this too much. VO talent, mic position, and room sound are you biggest obstacles. Good luck and have fun.
