Speaker Cables for VA Mahlers with Linn electronic

I'm rearranging my listening room and changing from a 25 ft run of Ocos speaker wire to a 6 ft run of something else. I'm running Linn Akurate CD, Linn Axis TT, Linn Exotic preamp, and Linn 2250 amp into Vienna Acoustics Mahlers. I love the sound and have no complaints -- very musical, lots of detail, great soundstage. But I'm assuming that going to a shorter run of speaker wire will improve things.

I'm using Stereovox 600 interconnects, which nicely improved things all around when I got them. I'd love to try their speaker wire, but their reference line is out of my price range. Any thoughts about Stereovox Firebird speaker wire? I'm looking for suggestions for speaker wires that might work well in my system. Whatcha think?

Thanks for the helpful and thoughtful responses. Do you know if Cable Co. allows you to put the money you invest in the trial (or shipping for the trial??) to stuff from their Used Cable line?

When I got my Ocos, I was told that there was something about their design that made them better than most for long runs. I've been quite happy with them but haven't experimented with speaker cables because I have the Ocos running beneath my floor and the hassle involved in switching that out.

Any other thoughts on Raquel's point a about the match between amp and speaker wire being more important than the match with the speaker?

Has anyone had experience with different cables for a Linn electronic, Vienna Mahler's setup?
