Humanity trying to hear Einstein's greatest achievement

I think the idea is to build a more sensitive device which will be able to detect less energetic waves thus allowing for more events to be caught.

Although you are correct at pointing out that it would be really less energetic, LISA is more sensitive at much lower frequency range which means longer wavelengths and much wider orbits. If two orbiting black hole/neutron stars have large orbits then they are potentially heavier than those with small orbit.

But, who knows what we will find out there. I think we will be once again shocked when we discover something unexpected.
