This is the last of my major backlog from Hicks, a NIB Regency Marquis-MX in rococo. Love this finish, had to repair some damage to the bottom plate due to some misplaced shipping blocks, but otherwise it's great. Love these fans because they actually pack a decent punch. I like that! Please tell me this thing puts out more than 5,345 CFM... but I still like that!

I don't know the CFMs on these things. You're the king of specs, I assumed you would! But honestly yes, these pack way more punch than MX Excels.

I don't know the CFMs on these things. You're the king of specs, I assumed you would! But honestly yes, these pack way more punch than MX Excels. Certain finish versions of airwin's high performance 'ad-525' architect deluxe model, like this particular finish you have here, look suspiciously identical to your fan, oblong pill chain pendant and all. So either this marquis-mx was made by the same OEM as those, or they downright stole pictures of Regency's product, the former being the most likely. But, those airwin fans have 188×15s and given the standard marquis's 188×15, and the marquis-mx's 188×20/188×22 motor, some of those airline look to be counterparts of your regency. The switch housings on both look different, however. Website: airwininc.com/AD525.htm

At last I've acquired the classic Matthews-Gerbar Duplo Dinamico I've wanted forever. I've had an active interest in these since before I was actively collecting ceiling fans, the prices are just usually so insanely expensive that they're never on my radar. Polished chrome with the mahogany blades is really the combination I'd choose too, so it's perfect. I love all the cool colors and options they offer for this model, but if I had to choose just one this one would be it. I bought it used, so I had to do some work to get it looking this shiny again, but it was really a quick and easy cleanup. INSANE performance, I mean like really insane. Each fan head is literally like a really good HV fan on steroids, extreme air movement out of this thing.

Cool a brazilian fan. Although the brass and copper ones that they have are pretty cool, I've never been very much into these but it's nice to see you with something other than what is typically seen in the US. The next step will be a four blade Arge or a Venti-Delta?

Also, if you're not on the soc medes, I received this pallet of Casablanca blades yesterday. Just had to post because it's probably the most ridiculous thing I've ever had shipped in. Still have to really dig in and figure out what I've actually got, so far I only really know that I'm swimming in standard antique oak.

I quite like the Craftmade,, but not big on the finish.. Same with the 19th Century.. Does Craftmade still make this model? I like the 4 blade configuration better,, the motor reminds me of older Hunters like the Low Profile and Studio Series..
Those double-fans have always interested me.. I'm surprised it works well,, I figured the air stream from each fan would be offset by the movement of it.. Do you have any idea of the electrical workings inside this thing?
Very nice Four Seasons.. If only the blades were glossy too..
Those "Performance Series" fans are odd.. Do they actually have notably better performance than the regular models?
Wow,, that is quite a lot of blades! How much did you pay for the bundle?

You're talking the Regency Marquis-MX? It was discontinued in the 90s I think.
No, these Matthews-Gerbar rotational fans are insane performers. Really the epitome of a quality fan, too. It's pretty simple electrically, it's just essentially a cylinder with stationary contacts, and then a set of contacts mounted on the rotational part which maintains the electrical connection but with no physical wires or connectors to hinder rotation.
I don't really understand the 'performance series'. There's nothing distinguishing about them, I guess maybe the fact that they were the more basic or traditional looking fans. They were meant to perform, not look overly pretty. That's all I can come up with lol.
I'm not disclosing the cost to anyone out of personal preference.
