That's unfortunate; hopefully it's an issue that can be fully resolved with room placement, gear/wiring configuration (sounds like something may be wrong here), burn-in, etc. And we can't rule out the possibility of a defect.
I have heard highly unbalanced sound from a couple of Tannoy systems, over the years. Once with the Definition 10T, which was way too dark and bassy, and later with the Definition 10A, which was searingly bright and aggressive up top -- but I've forgotten the upstream gear in those systems by now.
Other than those exceptions, Tannoys tend to rather well balanced, and certainly excel at rock, punk, and metal. The Canterbury SE was a bit wooly (though nothing like you describe here) when brand new, but opened up beautifully with plenty of burn-in and upstream gear improvements.
