I don't know what a B&W 365 is. But I have lived with various B&Ws, all of which were bi-wireable. I'm not sure if your "365" comes with bi-wire jumpers. If so, before you embark on speaker cable changes, be sure that you stick those jumpers (and ALL other cables) on a cable burn-in device. We use an audiodharma Cable Cooker, but there are a couple of other devices.
If you are still using a stereo pair + bi-wire jumper, you have to experiment with the permutations. With the B&W 805S, my guests vacillated, between which was better: having the speaker cable go first to the woofer, or first to the tweeter.
My Cable Cooker has treated dozens of bi-wire jumpers. Many of the owners find that the Cooked jumpers alleviate that urge to acquire additional speaker cables.

Cheers. Please look at the image of the rear of my B&W speakers. Maybe this helps? The manual also advocates it.
A.) I noticed that you run your stereo speaker cable first to the tweeter post. Have you also tried running the speaker cable to teh woofer post first?
B.) Once you determine which ways sounds better to your given your equipment and tastes, at the very least, get the bi-wire strips on a cable burn-in device. If you use the audiodharma Cable Cooker, you will have to tie some wire, in order to make the connection, but that'll do. But make sure you burn the straps in the preferred direction.
C.) Several people here have experimented with replacing those straps with dedicated bi-wire jumpers. You can do a search over on AA's Cable Asylum forum.
D.) If you go to my homepage,you'll have to rummage through 12 years of posts, but I have extensively covered bi-wire jumpers from Cardas, MIT, Nordost, Stereovox, Tara Labs, Wireworld, XLO, and a few other brands, whose names escape me.
E.) Of B&W's vast history and lineup, I am perhaps most well-versed in their 805S. Click on the link below for a little bit of info.
