I can get them around the same price

preamp is Michi P5 and a pair of SVS SB16 ultra Sony Hap Z1 and Cambridge Azur 851N

Just buy the one that is the nicest looking to you.  After all, that is all that really matters.  They all sound the same anyway!

Happy Listening.

Thanks everyone for inputs
I learn a lot 
so is not always about the weight 
some of emotiva and outlaw stereo amps weigh a lot my current amp A21+ weighs 72 pounds sounds amazing but anthem STR amp is too gorgeous  can’t stop looking at them
I don’t really need more power than A21+ for my current set up just to cover future upgrade
The Michi S5 looks great but 130 pounds no then I need to change my rack and I’m not ready for that  
The preamp looks amazing though for 4K
