I pick up a used Mesa 2x12 cabinet today. It's loaded with 2 Celestion Vintage 30's. This might be a silly question, but can they handle 100 watts?

I'm no techie, but I have an oversized vertical Mesa 2x12 and it rocks loud no problem with my 100 watters

I don't think the 30 in v30 stands for 30watts, but I'll let someone with knowledge chime in...
 
V30s are rated at 60w each. So yes, 2 of them can handle a 100w amp, unless you are diming the amp (when you can exceed the rated output by as much as 2x). Playing anything up to 6 or 7 on your amp and you will be fine.

There aren't many times when you'd go over 7 on a 100w tube head, so I say green light.
