I've never heard of an electrostatic speaker from KEF; don't think they ever made one. If so, doubtful it would be for the pro market. Don't recall them ever making an active speaker either.

B&W at one time made a hybrid with ESL tweeter and cone woofer; that was circa 1970 and was not active.
 
Electrostatic Sound Systems of Sacramento Ca. produced some
hybrid speaker systems in the early 1970's that incorporated
electrostatic screens (RTR) along with Kef 110 and 139 drivers
for the bass and mid-range. If my memory serves me right Kef
had a fire at their plant and the resulting shipment problems
influenced Electrostatic Sound Systems to morph into ESS w/
the Heil drivers. I still have a pair of their Transtatic 1's although
I have tweaked the crossovers and enhanced the vibration
control of the enclosure.They still sound pretty good for a 35
year old system especially the electrostatic highs.
