Yes, the right combination does work! But I think it's the player, their concept and attitude that makes the sound.
I remember years ago, listening to Bernstein's Candide being performed on TV by the LSO. (The whole opera) All of a sudden, I heard this awesome tuba passage that sounded as if it could swamp the orchestra, but didn't. LSO, Patrick Harrild, Eb tuba? Hmmm.
