Id like to think they could handle it but want to be sure, I dont want to see smoke and sparks when I have my AC/DC Live at Donnington turned up to 11!!

You can overdrive a speaker's drivers but it is rare. It is not a problem as long as you do not turn up the volume to 11 as you said. Loud volumes are fine, earth-shattering volumes might lead to driver burnout.
