On the other hand, if you consider that "the highs do appear to be quite brittle and harsh, especially at loud volumes" then, probably, the power amp has some difficulties with the 703's. Or your room has a problem regarding the mid-high frequencies. I would suggest two things : First, you should try putting +12dB level on the analog input of the TP. If you still have the "harsh on high volumes" problem, try placing your speakers differently, or try a different amp.
