Abstract
When completed, the gravitational wave detectors now proposed or under construction will provide us with a perspective on the Universe fundamentally different from any we have come to know. With this new perspective comes the hope that new insights and understandings of Nature will emerge. The proposed acoustic detectors, with spherical geometries and operating at millikelvin temperatures, are particularly well-suited to study gravitational radiation in the 1--3 KHz band. In this brief report I review some sources of particular interest for these detectors.
