It never hurts to have a few tools around. A cheap soldering iron and a
small roll of solder will cost maybe 10-15 bucks, if it really takes you
hours to get all the wires back in, I would think the investment would pay
off several times over even if you only use it once.

If the system uses spring clips I doubt you would notice any difference in
sound quality if you just extended the wires. I would do it by soldering a
new length on and using a heat shrink sleeve to cover the joint.

The alternative would be to fit speaker sockets on the wall.
