Soundsystem

How it sounds is personal, I like it, and it for me it has plenty of bass and clarity of high signals.
As for speaker replacement, all speakers are replaceable with aftermarket speakers, except for the rear, which is not subjected to weather problems.
The rear speaker is replaced as a box, but it is not required to purchase the amplifier, it is serviced separately.

As for satellite radio, can you get Worldspace satellite in Germany? If so, you might be able to switch out the XM receiver box for a worldspace receiver. They operated quite similarly, especially since Worldspace is one of the owners of XM, and they have co-developed many of the units used by each system.

Running another head unit while keeping the factory speakers will work. You are effectively cutting the impedance in half. This is a common practice in car audio and you essentially double your power. If the new head unit or separate amp can handle the reduced impedance, you will be fine. You may find that the new head unit or separate amp will run hotter though.

how can you only buy monsoon speakers? if you have a positive/negative wire from the HU then any speaker will receive power from the HU. i can foresee problems with changing a HU with a monsoon system but not speakers. a speaker is a speaker. oh, and paper cones are fine. you can run a high-end system with paper cones and it can sound amazing. sh!t, vinyl (old technology) can sound better than digitial music. analog recording has more warmth than 10100011001 digitized sound.
