Cable/Interconnect recommendation for B&W and MF

I posted similar question in AMP section, asking which part should I invest. Everybody said "cables", so here it goes...

B&W CDM 9NT
Musical Fidelity A300 amp & A3 CDP

currently what I have:
radio shack 12 gauge speaker cable (25 feet for each side), about $1 a foot. terminated by myself using monster cable banana plugs
monster cable interconnect. I remember it was about $20.

Which one should change first (speaker cable, or interconnect)? Any recommendations?

I agree with Sugarbrie, interconnects first. Love the Siltech Compass Lake but I don't think you want to spend that much. A cable that gets 97% of the Valhalla or Siltech is the Pure Note Epsilon 4. They run around $600 a meter.
