There is nothing wrong technically with Monster cables that I could imagine would make me not want thier product. The problem with Monster cables is the insane price. If Sony was putting Monster cables (or any brands) in there, they would still only cost $20 or so for the kit - in bulk, without the middle men and stores and advertising, etc - the stuff doesn't cost that much.
The cables are all the same physically - they use the same copper or whatever conductors - they can confrom to the same specification. The difference is cosmetic with colorfull heatshrink, custom printing and fancy anodizing or plating.
Electrically a 12 guage speaker wire from Home Depot looks IDENTICAL to a 12 guage speaker wire from Monster.
If the interconnects are in the box, they 1) would likely not be branded regardless of who makes them, but if they are, who cares, and 2) not cost what they cost on the 'end cap at Best Buy'.
