I'm in the same spot. Building a house, want some sort of whole house audio. While it's a bit pricey, i'm giong to use two HomePods (hard wired - not wireless).

The device (if it works right) will search all the computers on my home network for music files and let me play them from the HomePod (Which I am hooking up to an amps and then in-cieling speakers.)
For the server, I'm just going to use the oldest computer in my house, tucked in a closet in the basement.
