It is really hard not to get the impression, that they charge so much because ... they think can !

Good point. Keep in mind the impact of volume effect: they will sell much more Q3 than M-rack, so productivity increases, share of fixed cost decreases, etc. Margin given to distributors also change by category: a dealer will make for example more money on accessories like cables than on speakers. Don't know about racks.
