The edges of plywood don't do anything for me either and I would agree that much can be done about the looks. The top baffle takes a little getting used to but given the choice between great sound and looks, I'll take the sound any day. If I want furniture I'll go to the furniture store.
A fellow named Bill Schneider did wonders to make them look quite good. Here is a picture of his LX521s as well as a link to his build documentation. I think his web page has been a real asset as well as a benchmark to many builders.
Linkwitz labs also has this link to some others who have a different look. Some are quite nice. I actually like the looks of them and have all along.
