Is there a cheaper alternative to this:

I had the Buchardt legs made from scratch. They are about $550/pair and I could have them for $400. (Given my time spent and ending up bringing them from 10,000 miles away, I really didn’t save much.)

Since these are just $350 a pair, I don’t see a lot of savings from contracting it out. Unless of course you want something that looks nicer, for your taste.

Down in San Diego, having custom metal and ironwork done in Mexico is an option, probably cheap(er) but again, you will only know what you end up with when you take delivery of it.

btw @shtinkydog your P3 is still humming along beautifully :)

I had similar stands (Deer Creek Audio) for my JBL 4319s and they worked wonderfully for years until I tried them with the tweeter better aligned with my ears. They were placed on some Wharfedale Litton speaker stands firing straight at me and boy, did it make a big difference.

The problem with the 5° stands was my room. I needed about another 2 feet to properly align the tweeter with my ears and I couldn't move back any further. You may not have the same issues as the friend I sold them to, with my JBLs, loves the way they sound in his larger room.

If those are made as well as the Deer Creek Audio stands, then the price is decent as the Deer Creek Audio stands command more money used than new. I paid about $330 for mine and have seen them going for $500 to $700 on eBay.

Looks like an oversized tuning fork.  Why would someone want to use a tuning fork stand for audio equipment?

I don't know about the ones the OP speaks of but the Deer Creek Audio stands were made by a local artist near their place and they were constructed of 14 GA powder coated steel filled with a sandstone foam product to deaden them. 

They sounded nothing like a tuning fork when rapped by the knuckles, which didn't feel good.
