F1eng made a good point though i believe. cable geometry is very important.
I also think the connector is a big part of it.
for instance - while i dont think id spend 4000 on speaker cables again, i wall mounted my devialets over the weekend and my speakers cables with banana plugs dont fall out of the terminals even though its got to be at least half a kilo of weight pulling on the banana plugs. thats a great connection in my books!
the only part of f1's post i dont agree with is "good engineering needs not be expensive". while not a false statement im sure good engineering of cable geometry etc could be done cheap i just dont know anyone who doesnt charge appropriately.
