 Hi

 I'm looking for a good phone SIP phone for conference room use.

 My requirements are in order:
 * Speaker quality
 * External microphone support.
 * Provisioning support / asterisk compatibility.

 Does anyone have any experience on this field?

 I'm willing to stretch on price to get decent quality.

Polycom IP4000 with external mics.

Expensive, but they've been doing conference phones for a very long time 
so seem to know what they're doing.

The few I've installed, I've just used their web interface to setup the 
SIP account. Royal PITA as it seemed to require a reboot for every change, 
however you get there in the end...

We've just got some Snom MeetingPoints and are pleased with them so far..

Any Polycom Soundstation model will be more than acceptable. We use the
IP6000 and love it. Meets your criteria for extension mic's  speakers.

The IP4000 model was discontinued, and did not support HDVoice. HDVoice
makes a huge difference if you can make calls IP-to-IP. It makes
conferencing seriously better.

I've also trialed the Konftel/snom MeetingPoint
(http://www.mgraves.org/voip/2009/07/initial-impressions-konftel-300-spe
akerphone/) . It's very good as well, and can be had with a diversity
of interfaces; analog, IP  USB making it very versatile. It also
records to a SD card if you need.
