Specifically, what are the engineering that got in Monster Z2 that justifies $300 – 350 price tag?

In other words, what is the buyer really paying for? Is it cosmetics? Is it durability against pulling and bending? Is it higher purity of copper (99.9999 % compare to other brand’s 99.999%)? Is it the braiding pattern that gives better protection against interference than other rope type copper cables? Or, is the snake oil impregnated outer jacket that can repel moisture better than other type?

I have bought / assembled a few speaker cables recently but never spent that much money on them. So I’m wondering, is it really worth it?
