You don't say which B&W's you have so this might not apply.
On my Matrix 802 S3 speakers the internal connection from the crossover to the speaker terminals is via wires with ringed terminators. A screw goes through each terminator ring into the end of the speaker terminal and is screwed tight. So you can easily unscrew one pair of wires and move them to the same terminals as the other pair - in other words use just one set of terminals. This has to be the best sounding option as it means you don't need any jumpers at all. And it's easy to reverse if you ever decide to bi-amp.
To play safe put a sticker over the speaker terminals that aren't used since mistakenly plugging a tube amp into terminals that aren't used is likely to end in tears.
I did this on mine and it looks like this:
