The best I've heard for speech intelligibility is the Danley Synergy (a DIY version, actually). Probably being point source, controlled directivity, and high efficiency all at the same time is the combo that does it, but that's just a guess.
It's not a hifi thing, either. My wife is hard of hearing and we usually have to watch Netflix with subtitles turned on, but some films don't have any. With my previous speakers doing HT, those films were a proble. But with the Synergies it's not a major deal, even on shows with British accents (we're in USA)
