Was he referring to the old rotary 2155? If so, I had one for a few months.
It was d*mn loud (louder than that, actually), not very "delicate" (slurs / quiet playing response sucked), had the typical intonation quirks PLUS the tuba-condemning (IMO) super-low 3rd partial.

Then again, I've auditioned some pretty annoying "new piston" 2155 tubas, as far as pitch/response problems...which are almost completely addressed in the "2000"...(AT) approx. double the price.
