Speaker placement is no more or less difficult or important with mono amps. What can be important is amp placement. If you are tempted to place the amps on the floor by the speakers, get down on your hands and knees and listen to the sound in various places at amplifier height. Right between the speakers will usually be the most boomy, and a poor place to site the amps. This boom will result in high resonance to the circuits, especially important if using tubes. Also, behind the speakers is usually a poor choice. I found the quietest place to be closer to the speaker and right near it rather than behind or in front.

Thanks.
