Hi!
I have Monster's M850i interconnect cables. Paid $90 or so for it. It's a very average cable - reasonable mids, bloated bass & rolled of highs.
For less than $100 you can get some very nice cables from DH Labs - BL1 Series II. This is a silver clad copper cable & I have this cable as well & it sounds infinitely better than the M850i for about the same price.

When you compare the BL1 Series II to some higher priced silver cables such as DH Labs own Revelation or to Kimber's KCAG or KTAG or to any Silver Audio's interconnects, the BL1 falls short in that there is some graininess in the sound probably from the copper-silver interface. However, compare the cost of the BL1 to the others & you'll see that this short-coming is "justified".
* There are some excellent cables (recommended from a person I trust very much) from Analysis Plus.
* From personal experience I recommend TARA Labs Prism series interconnects. Go up the Prism ladder as high as your budget will allow. For the money, these cables are excellent sounding.

Avoid Kimber Hero - I have this cable. Bloated bass & it seems to be "slow" overall. It works fine in my HT setup - it's been demoted to this position!
