Int. amp for Dynaudio Focus 140 speakers
I have the Focus 140's and use a Plinius 9200. IMO great combo. 
Looking for an SS Integrated for Totem Mani-2's
I would suggest a used Plinius 9200. I own one and think it is a great integrated. I use to have the Aerial model 8 speakers and the Plinius drove them with ease. Those speakers were rated at 86db. The Plinius is a very netural sounding amp, great... 
Recommended turntable mat for Rega P2

Best new or used speakers for under 3K?
Aerial models 8b or 7b 
integrated or separates...on a $1200 price point?
Plinius 
Can you recommend cables with good PRAT?
I also agree DNM Reson. I just purchased this for my Naim CD5i-2. Great interconnect IMO for the money. 
amp suggestions for Aerial 7b
Another option to consider is Plinius, excellent soundiong amps in my opinion. I had a pair of Aerial model 8's that my Plinius 9200 integrated drove with ease and sounded great. I think Aerial and Plinius amps is a nice combination, very netural ...

Tower Speakers and Room Size
If the Dynaudio's Focus 140's falls into your budget, it might be worth while to check them out. They are detailed, have excellent bass for a small speaker, a non fatiguing top end and nice imaging. I to have a small room 11x15 and these speakers ... 
Recommendations for good jazz radio stations
Thanks for all the recommendations. 
Which headphones & headphone amp combo?
Thanks for the input. 
Is Plinius 9200 bright sounding?
I currently own the 9200 and love it. IMO, excellent amp. I agree with jaybo, dead netural top to bottom. Also, a very nice phono stage. 
Need some cd player advice for redbook only
Naim cd5i-2 is a very nice sounding player. This player was my preference over the 840c. I found the 840c to be a little forward for my taste. Good luck in your search. 
New integrated for Totem
Used Plinius a good match with those speakers
