When you need longer speaker wire than you currently have, do you rerun a longer length of wire, or do you strip the ends, wrap two cables together, and tape it up with electrical tape?

Hi, I don't know about anyone else, but I always run a new length. Also, if the length is really much longer, I'll go to the next size up for the wires. I know that there are considerable feelings about types (skinny / thick, stranded / solid conductor and so on) as to what to do here. What I do works for me. Presently I am using 15 feet of 14 gauge stranded twisted pair wires on each speaker. The speakers are efficient and the max input per speaker is under 25 watts.
Yes I can understand going up to the next size. I only needed a couple more feet, so I picked the lazy way as described above, but it's bothering me a little, so I may run a new length.
