I'm looking for a pair of interconnects that won't shatter the bank....

Hi stereoisomer,. 
Yes, the minefield of wire is daunting.  I won't bore you and Members with qualifications...past posts cover some.  I recently upgraded interconnects both to my main monitors as well as to my 2 subwoofers with Luminous Audio cables. 
I have reached a place in my process of refinement where the upgrades don't attempt to fix or correct anything that seems missing or off, rather,  it's a reach for more reality from the illusion.  Instead of attending the musical event, by bringing the event into YOUR space.
The Synchestra Reference now pair to the mains and the Monarch II's to the 2 subwoofers.  To the subs, I was running some nicely made Mogami.  And yes, the upgrade to the subs is significant, contrary to the opinions above. Tonality, apparent speed and depth is substantially improved.  The Synchestras reach into the worlds of the exotics at a fraction of the cost, which is Tim Stinson's niche.  His twenty years of design and impassioned listening result in a soundstage and dimensionality  for purists.  Onwards, and More Peace..Pin

Miller at on is correct about the subwoofer run. On high quality cost effective cables and interconnects I recommend DH labs. I have used them for many years before I could afford high end interconnects. They are very good and cost effective.

Interconnects on subs are the lowest priority I know. I've got plenty of really high end interconnects, and can stand nothing less on my mains. But on subs I have tried them, and use the same cheap junk that I recommended earlier. Horses for courses.  

Save your money for where it will make a difference. 

Blue Jeans Cable are great for a sub. I wouldn't recommend them for much else.

Luminous Monarch II's are $119.00 for a 1 meter run.  Do yourselves a favor...and ya, subs benefit.  MP, Pin
