Just picked up a pair of Ditton 66 ($100 cdn) with rough cabinets & blown MF 2000 tweeters
I am trying to get a straight answer , should the MF 2000 be 8 ohms or 4 ohms ; can any Celestion expert guide me.

I have 4 HF 2000 in each of my Bozak Concert Grands as super tweeters and I wire them series parallel to get 5.5 ohms at 10,000 HZ so I assume they are considered to be 4 ohms speakers but actually be considered 6 ohms to some. Normally the crossovers pad them down to match the output of the woofer of Celestion 66. I have always known them to be called HF 2000. If you asking about the Mid range I am not sure. But I would treat them as 4 ohm to be on the safe side. With direct coupled SS I wouldn't worry with well built units made today. Units back in the late 60's and early 70's some times didn't do to well with 4 ohm loads however. You might find a test of the speaker in the back files of Stereophile.

I looked on google and the MF 2000 was the big midrange dome that B&O also used in it 5700 loudspeaker system. B&O rated the system as 4 ohm. Celestion rated their 66 as 8 ohms with a minimum impedance of 4 ohms which normally indicated that would be in the range above the woofer resonance or in the lower range of the mid driver. So figure 4 ohms.

Sorry was talking about the HF2000 ( typo), I had a pair of Ditton 25 ; that I just sold to a good friend.
Those HF2000 were 6.4 & 6.7 Ohms, still considered 8 ohms. Most of the info I have found ,is that the Ditton 66 ones were 8 ohms. Just want to make sure before I order replacements from.France.
