You should be able to extend the speaker wire on the current speakers without much hassle (might need to open them up mind).

It’s hard to say for sure if you can run the new unit with the old speakers (as you don’t really know what power the driver is rated to, only the tweeter at the top?). I would imagine it is fine but then if the speakers are 15 years old as well you probably won’t be getting the best out the new system either.

If it was me I would be trying to extend the wires on the new speakers and run with them. You could probably splice an extension o to the current wires without stripping the speakers part. For the amount of wattage running through them a simple soldered joint should be good enough).

So if the new system speaker wire is not long enough what if I use the new speakers and their fixed at the speaker rear wire and roll it it up and clip it at at the rear of them and attach the wire end to the already installed wire coming out of the wall. Which is a thicker upgraded one. So that I am not buying extra wire that is as thin as the new system to attach to the new system to make it long enough which I could draw through the ceiling by attaching it too the current thicker wire that I would use to draw it through.
