XLR cables for a reasonable price?

I've seen lots of threads where it is stated that balanced components are "insensitive" to cables.  Does this mean that spending a lot of money on XLR cables is probably unnecessary, as it offers no sonic benefit over cheaper XLR cables?

I would like some recommendations on reasonably priced XLR cables that give excellent sonic performance.  Thanks for your replies.

They sound very good and look exceptional. I tested each category of interconnect and cables that they make and there is huge bang for the buck.

SVS makes an affordable pair of Xlr cables. I believe you can get a set of 2 meter for around $100

Consider soldering your own.  bulk mogami quad and neutrik from Redco, 60/40 or 63/37 solder, a good soldering station.  You will gain a great skill, save a ton of money, and make the exact length cables you require.

Morrow cables are what I have used for years. Try their mid level ones.
