I know that almost all brands of Monster are the worst.
I use a short 3'runs of isolated speaker wire from VanDenHul(CV-122H model if I will trust my memory). Before I've plugged them instead of my JPS Superconductor cables, I plugged them into AC outlet with 200W bulb for about 2 hours for real break-in. The result is -- I've sold my JPS cables after I've pluged in these magic wires. I've paid just $60 to get this wire, and I use silver-solder covered bare wires to connect to binding posts.
Among brand names there are only few brands to pay attention for VanDenHul, AudioQuest and Cardas(newtral reference).
