Perhaps the product is superior and is selling well at the MFG list price. Or there is no significant profit to be made by discounting it.
Pretty sure price setting has been common for a long time, If you want to be an authorized dealer you must do what the mfg. asks.
If there is no grey market I doubt it is because Bose has suppressed it. Just not enough potential profit to make it worthwhile perhaps.
