sharp and piercing high pitch /frequency coming out from Harbeth C7

I have a problem with the sharp and piercing high pitch coming out from the C7 40th anniversary speakers when sometimes listening to the soprano or complicated loud passage in CDs. I changed the speaker cables from Analysis Plus Oval 12 to Transparent Musicwave which has a filter for frequency. It got better but not totally elimiated. Any solution for this ?Thank you!

I have the same feeling from my Harbeth C7 in comparison to my Gershman Avant Garde and Tyler Linbrook Signature systems.
The high pitch violin or horn sounds a bit harsh with high volume.  However, at mid volume, I am just OK with Harbeth.

Different cables might help make the sound a bit smoother, or tube amps might help. But then, you might not like other (more dynamic) kinds of music. I guess that is why many audiophiles keep multiple setups for different kinds of music or preferences.
