Personally, if I wanted to get a 2nd system, I wouldn't want a less good version of the main system. If they both share an approach to audio, you'll always hear the 3- or 4-ness when you are used to the same thing in 10.

I'd try to be as different as possible in the 2nd system, say Genelec 8260A or something in that genre. Or perhaps, since you want your 2nd system for opera, I'd look at what monitors are used in opera production.
Markus, this is very much not how I think. In my view the 2nd system shall not be different then main system. All those convections about 2nd system as system of different type, or topology or type of sound I find very bogus. In fact it is my strong conviction that if person has foolishness to setup second system (I still am a strong opponent of it) then it shell be in sonic terms a more or less replica of main system. I wish I was able to make the Altec 21S to sound like Macondo. Friends of mine advised me to put the projector into my main listening room and use the full Macondo Sound. Firstly the main listing room is light room (high lighting) and I do not want to looks it light status. Second I do not feel that video need any more sophisticated sound then what Altec 21S can do, In fact if it was even 10% of the Altec 21S  does then it would be else very much enough for video.
