HiFi room, and us a wireless intercolm.
As for networking, I would consider a high quality wireless for a
mobile laptop, and have a wired network for the main computers,
probably in one or two rooms that are close to each other.
For the security cameras, I would have gone wireless.
My cost would be less than 1/2 of what you spent.
I wired my place for telephone, cable, and networking. I spent about
$300 for everything. I did the work myself. The complete job took me
an afternoon (about 5 hours).
As for having speakers around the house for music, I find this to not
be practical. for the cost of just good quality speakers and the
wiring alone for each room, I can have a discent Sony or Panasonic
mini stereo in each room, that is independent. These give very good
sound for the cost, and are very dependable. This way, each person can
have their own programing in each room. I also have a TV in each room,
that works from the cable system. I ran RGU 6 with the wall plates
through the place, fed from a master high quality amplifier with an 8
way splitter on the output of it, that is puting out the signal to
each room.

cleverness and equipment can also distribute audio quite effectively
over it. I think most alarm systems can also use CAT5.
Some coax for video would also be on my list (although advances in the
use of CAT5 may soon make that spurious, too), along with generous power
outlets.
