Cables that make no sense...

I want to go from what I shouldn't choose at all.

Is there cables(speaker or interconnects) that make no sence at all?

In my opinion --
Monster M2.4 is #1 in such listing
It's very costly and very far away from music.

Any unwanted combination such as price+performance is welcomed to describe!

Kirk930 I do not have to go to Radio Shack -- instead I can go to Sam-Ash Music and get pro RCA or balanced cables, change connnectors to the quality gold plated (Cadras or Ausioquest) and It'll sing! I'll be in $40 range for a single pair.
Audioquest Midnight is much better and closer to music than Monster M2.4 and costs 1/4x much for the same lengh. My favorite is Analysis + Oval that I've many times seen on $30k equipment.

I think that cables' task is to make a fair adjustment to your setup. There will be some point when you'll make another upgrade on your speaker cable which wouldn't make any difference in your system setup and you'll ask yourself: why didn't I upgrade my CD-player or DAC or Phono or Amplifier for the samp amount of money?
Imagine: what kind of adjustment you need if you spend $12K just on your speaker cables?
Analyze it with any amount "available" for "fair adjustment"
