Farfisa Twin80 (1960s)
Documentation on the Farfisa Twin80 is sparse. The record shows an amplifier/speaker cabinet from the 1960s. At least one Italian source calls it a "cassa" - a speaker cabinet. The one solid technical detail that survives is a good one: each Twin80 cabinet housed two 12″ Philips Bombardon speakers.
The Twin80 shows up in a couple of period Farfisa.org classified listings, offered for sale or trade. One listing asked $500. A later one, explicitly marked "(Price drop)", asked $450. After that the trail goes cold. There's no original retail price, no power output or impedance figures, no dimensions or weight, no circuit details. A Reddit user posted a title praising a "Twin80 setup" as amazing, but the post's content was hidden, so the sources hold no substantive review.
One Italian forum thread title, "Farfisa Twin 80-Grazie Claudio!!!!!" ("Thank you Claudio!!!!!"), suggests the model has at least a small enthusiast following, likely because someone shared information or photos about it. A Farfisa production page lists the Twin80 alongside the Farfisa A 73 amplifier, but no explicit lineup positioning is documented. Beyond its identity as a powered cabinet with twin 12″ Philips drivers, little can be stated with confidence.
Known specs:
- Amplifier / speaker cabinet ("cassa"), 1960s
