I would actually disagree with this. If they ask you opinion, I would give it to them. How do you know if they simply want validation or not.

For over five years, I have been trying to find someone in my area who appreciates audio to listen to my system. I would truly like an honest opinion and some suggestions about what changes might be considered. Mostly, I am happy with my system, but occasionally I hear other systems (sometimes, much less costly systems) that seem to do things much better than mine. I would hate to think that with the amount of $ I've got into it, that maybe I am missing an obvious tweak or adjustment that could take my setup to the next level.

Anybody here in southern PA?! :)
