Erfolgsduo


Explanation:
I think "Paar" could insinuate a romantic relationship between the two.
Another possibility would be "Erfolgskombination", but then it´s not immediately clear that you are talking about people, not things.

Ein attraktives Paar


Explanation:
Auch wenn es latent doppeldeutig ist, unterstellt man damit unterschwellig, dass sich die beiden verstehen (allerdings gebe ich zu, dass ich gerade einen Bericht über Krupp-Thyssen gesehen habe ;-)). M.E. ebenfalls günstig: man stutzt einen kleine Moment - und liest in den Text rein.
