What is the low quality % you can run at to help with cpu load and still have good audio quality from Stereo Tool.

I am currently I am running at 96% should I run it at 92%??

that depends on what you use ST for and whether your current PC can handle it.
if you use it for AM broadcast, 50% is good, for FM broadcast, 75% is good, for personal listening on your sound system or for mastering, 100% is good, theres really no need to go above 100%.

I run a internet radio station that streams at 160kbps AAC

I'm curious how the "Latency" size is affected by the CPU "Audio Quality" slider. 150% on 1024 sounds a lot better than 100% at 1024. And 100% at 4096 is better than that. I guess what I want to know is: what Quality should one use for a Latency of 2048 and what difference does it make? I mostly use 1024/150% for gaming or 4096/100% for media consumption (plugin version). I notice the difference most in the sub-bass accuracy.

I assume everybody who uses ST for broadcasting would use the largest size available since lag isn't as much of an issue as it is for playing games, right?

on my laptop (Clevo P870DM2_DM3) i operate with 2048 samples at 100% quality at 30mS latency on "normal output" reliably.

Is the audio quality still really good??

yes. for 2048 samples, it is, but i would not drop it any less than 2048 samples.
mainly, lower frequencies are affected more prominently by lower samples and can be observed on the display scope by using a sinewave tone 60Hz and lower, in some cases, you can hear this distortion as well.
