Wufus makes a good point. We can't assume that a Loree will always blend best with another Loree. The player, the reed, and the instrument all contribute to tone. In my opinion, the player is most important, the reed a close second, and the instrument a distant third. So, depending on the players and their reeds, a Loree might blend badly with another Loree, and it might blend nicely with a Marigaux.
I've been collecting solo oboe CDs for years. I have hundreds of recordings of players from around the world playing all sorts of oboes. But if I didn't already know what they were playing, there's no way I could pop in a CD and say, "That's a Yamaha, and that's a Howarth," since the instrument isn't the sole determinant of tone.
