I would guess that even if you hooked up an intercom system to speakers,
you would not like the quality of sound. Intercoms are not designed for
the frequencies needed to actually enjoy the music. Instead, take a look
at A-BUS components. These can be bought rather cheaply on eBay these days
and they are designed for music distribution over CAT5 wires. You would
need a distribution device and volume controls usually 4 per distribution
device. The volume control is actually a small aplifier which drives about
10W per. Not a lot but enough for background music and certainly more than
a rigged intercom would provide. Look for Channel Vision A-Bus parts, they
seem to be the cheapest yet adequate quality.

Good luck!
