Agreed the source material probably makes quite a difference. I'd
imagine there's music that would be transparent at ~100 kbps while
other might require ~160.
As previously stated I do believe the AxelF sample is in the
harder-to-encode region for MP3 encoders so I'm pretty sure my
concentrated listening threshold for average music is somewhere around
130-140 kbps or so.
