"Reference" in audio usually means 'something all others are compared against.'

You probably won't get 'reference sound' with only a $5k budget; see the Wilsons above. You will also need $10k for your amplifier, $10k for your preamp, and maybe another $10k for your source(s). Let's not forget, sky is the limit for all the cables.
Now you talking reference. Something you can compare your present set up to and only wish to attain.

Your reference and mine are also different. For me, a McIntosh MC 2105 in nice condition, a C 28, a MR 74, JBL 4311B speakers, a Technics SL-1100 or SL-1200, a Stanton 681 EEE-S II is plenty reference for what I do. I respect your reference, mine is work related in that era. Yours would be audiophile reference.
 
The Kef LS50 Wireless II would be the closest thing I know of to what you are asking for. Presumably you know about those already.

Just having two speakers with stereo separation will have a big impact on what you are able to hear. Some find the LS50 line a little bright, but the originals were the least expensive speakers to make it into the Stereophile Class A (low frequency limited) category, a few years ago. I imagine the choices are greater now, but couldn't tell you about any, sorry.

I wish I could give you a few recommendations but with your constraints I can’t think of any that would work for you off the top of my head.

Won't for him. He also wants Wireless and Reference, won't happen for him. Unless he wants to change that, and spend more

With proper amp they produce reference sound from the company kef other companies have simular series ultra high end, and they produce simular reference sound as well..
so i am looking into these speakers but in compact format and budget friendly option bookshelves 3 way speakers which will cost me at least 2000 euro or more,depends on the condition brand specs etcs...

You only want the impossible, given that. Reference for you means buying Reference, the way KEF or others want you to have Reference. Smaller won't be Reference for you. 2 way is necessary often in KEF for Reference. Can you settle for "Close Enough"? Or can you afford to find a larger living space, perhaps!
 
Lots of speaker companys make bookshelf speakers in your range.
Dynaudio, Wharfdale, Monitor Audio, Cabasse, etc. you need to go out and audition.
The problem with bookshelf is you probably aren't going to get full range and will need a sub.
If I were you, I'd go with floor standers with the same footprint as a bookshelf and stands.
